Kristian Matsson has never remained in one place for very long. Having spent much of the last decade touring around the world as The Tallest Man on Earth, Matsson has captivated audiences using, as The New York Times describes, "every inch of his long guitar cord to roam the stage: darting around, crouching, stretching, hip-twitching, perching briefly and jittering away…

It’s A Fever Dream, and his signing to ANTI-, the songs on Too Late For Edelweiss have been with Matsson since he started playing music as The Tallest Man on Earth in 2006. In those early years, Matsson used to perform “Lost Highway” before he had enough songs to flesh out a full set.
Excellent seventh studio disc by this awesome blues/rock guitarist from Ohio featuring 10 impressive, powerful, 70s-inspired, blues-based, heavy guitar rock tracks that shine a light on the vast six string musical talents of this killer, lead guitar rippin', blues-rockin' riff:master. Jay Jesse Johnson is a true "Man On A Mission" and on his latest disc the supreme kick-ass axeslinger digs deep & rocks the blues hard with a serious dose of amped up, electrified six string mojo blues power. JJJ is a bad-ass, legit "old-school meets modern day" guitar hero who was born to rock & give us faith & hope that real guitar rock music is still alive on this essential, classic Grooveyard Records disc.
